Abstract. In this paper, we propose a genetic network programming (GNP) architecture using a coevolution model called automatically defined groups (ADG). The GNP evolves networks for describing condition-action relations for agents. By applying ADG to GNP, we evolve different networks in order to realize the cooperation of multiple agents with different abilities. Computational experiments on a load transportation problem show that appropriate networks are obtained with taking account of the ability of agents.
